Destination Overview

KUCHING is the perfect gateway to Sarawak – and not just because it’s the state’s oldest, largest city. This is simply one of Malaysia’s most charming and laidback cities, revelling in a picturesque setting on the Sarawak River, with Mount Santubong looming on the western horizon.

Despite central high-rises, much of the recent development has been confined to the bland but burgeoning suburbs, and the historical core remains appealingly sleepy and human in scale, its colonial architecture redolent of a bygone era. Kuching’s blend of contradictions – of commerce alongside a sedate pace of life, of fashionable cafés rubbing shoulders with old-fangled kedai kopis – makes it an appealing place to chill out for several days while exploring such museums as the Sarawak Museum, showcasing the state’s ethnological heritage, and making excursions out to the numerous national parks and other sights in the vicinity.

Kuching

Thankfully, you don’t have to mull over weather reports or look up historical temperature highs and lows when you plan a holiday to Kuching & Sarawak. The region has a tropical rainforest climate with just two discernible seasons—wet and dry.

The average temperature remains almost constant throughout the year. Kuching & Sarawak are also spared the worst of the elements—the devastating tropical storms that are native to this region—because of its location. So it is a good idea to plan your Borneo Malaysia holiday keeping in mind the myriad colorful festivals here. These festivals celebrate the bounties of Nature and are great opportunities for you to mingle with folks who live in harmony with the natural world.

The wet season extends from November to February. Although there are frequent showers, your outdoor plans are usually not upset because the sun almost always peeks through the clouds and brightens up the day. The rains freshen up the environs and add to the lushness of the forests. It seems Mother Nature decks up in myriad shades of green to entice us. If you are in Miri during the wet season, you will have many ways to spend the time even if you have to postpone a trip to the rainforests near the city. With an eclectic dining scene and a host of recreational activities, this city is a culture vulture’s playground, come rain or shine.

Deepavali, the festival of lights and a celebration of the triumph of good over evil, is an auspicious ceremony for the Hindus. But in Kuching & Sarawak, people of all faiths come together to celebrate the occasion. For them, it is a chance to come together over a plate of sweetmeats and share a good laugh. In Borneo Malaysia, Chinese festivals are celebrated not just by the Chinese but also by the Hindus and Buddhists. The Hindu festivals bring together people from all communities. The camaraderie between the folks here, however, doesn’t seem surprising when you ponder the deep bonds they share with Nature. Harmony is the essence of life in Kuching & Sarawak.

Festivals are incredible opportunities to mix with the locals and understand their passions, aspirations, and the ideals and values they hold dear. The festivals of Borneo Malaysia showcase to the world the spirit of tolerance in the country. People of many different faiths and races inhabit this land. Every festival is celebrated with equal fervor, pomp, and gaiety. If you plan to take a holiday to Kuching & Sarawak during the Chinese New Year celebrations, you will be dazzled by the fireworks displays, but you will be more spellbound by the harmony between the people who live here.

The ideal time to take a Kuching & Sarawak holiday is during the dry season, which runs from March to October. Do not be misled by the moniker; the dry season is not a sizzling hot season. The temperatures do not reach soaring heights; it is just that there aren’t many rainy days during this season. The dry season sees a profusion of tropical fruits and flowers. Breathe in the air laden with the fragrance of the flowers and delightfully fruity aromas as you walk along a forested trail and feel yourself being transported to Eden!
